“First time selling a home, and Kimberlee Miller was very knowledgeable and explained everything thoroughly. Very easy to speak with and helpful with suggestions to set the stage for pictures. Kimberlee made the process very smooth!!”
“Shelley and Jim Brinson are excellent realtors. They have assisted me with several transactions and I have always been very pleased.”
“Nicole was everything we wanted and needed in a realtor. She was helpful every step of the way, through house showings, submitting an offer, negotiating, and all the way up through closing. Nicole was attentive to details in what we wanted in a home. She communicated with us during each step and helped us understand what we had questions about. When there were issues with closing, Nicole really advocated for us to ensure we were able to close in a timely manner. She definitely went the extra mile in all aspects of this process. We loved working with her and would definitely choose her again in the future!”
“I could not be more thrilled with my experience with Rebekah Sims. As an out-of-town buyer, I had no knowledge of real estate agents in the area. In my online searching, I happened to see a comment online that Rebekah Sims was the best in the business, so I called her. I am happy to report that this was 100% accurate. Rebekah was consistently attentive and responsive to my needs and text messages/calls. She recommended an excellent mortgage lender in the area, and helped me find local resources when we ran into issues during the inspection process. Because I was not local during the search and purchase process, she went above and beyond when it came to helping coordinate extra inspections and estimates needed at the house. She was completely on my side every step of the way and helped me negotiate a final deal that was highly favorable. I can't imagine the process going more smoothly, and I would never consider using anyone but Rebekah Sims for future real estate needs!”
“Easy to approach for questions. Does her best to get questions answered. Does not rush the process. And above all else. Very friendly and has a great smile.”
“Barketa was simply outstanding! Very helpful, easy to reach and great with keeping our goal in mind. Very honest about all properties and willing to show us several houses. Whole team was great and super easy to work with. Would gladly pick her and the company in the future!”
“Jeff helped my wife and I find a lovely property that met as many of our criteria as possible given our budget”
“Scott did an excellent job of accessing our property as is. It had been a rental and had a rough couple of years. He was honest and accurate with his numbers. A pleasure to work with.”
“Zach did a wonderful job helping us find a home we truely love. We started working with him months before we closed on a home and move across country. Zach was very professional, helpful, and an overall pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend Zach Robbins if you are searching for an agent in Southern IN.”
“Michele made it happen ... the sale of our home despite the market currently being slow. There were three other homes for sale in our High Point Estates area during the time that our home was for sale. One of those other homes that had been on the market for over a year finally sold for a very low price. We are fortunate that our home is the only one of the three temaining to have sold so far. Michele was positive and encouraging to me and always kept me reassured and informed as to new happenings. She accepted my suggestions, and she was creative in suggesting new ideas that could encourage a sale. Michele made it all happen.”
“He answered everything I needed when I needed it very professional”
“He was very helpful and give you details I feel like he was the best with the way he kept it professional and he made sure to include every small detail he hold your hand until then end kind, hard working, passionate, relatable.”
“We were first-time home buyers and new to the whole process. Brandi guided us through each step and answered every question we had. She negotiated a great deal for us and we recommend her wholeheartedly! Would definitely work with her again.”
“Kristen spent a lot of time driving to Anderson to show me houses and treated me as if the fact I wasn't buying a very expensive home didn't matter. She was responsive to all my needs and questions quickly. I would highly recommend Kristen to friends.”
“It was not the time economically to try to sell a lake house. Any potential buyers we did get were a lot of work to try to get to a contract. Dennis and Michelle worked hard for us to get through all of that. We are very happy to have sold the home and with all of their efforts and experience.”
“Amy Gordon's experience, attitude, and dedication went above and beyond what we expected to experience. She was very timely with communication and getting things done or keeping things moving regardless of where she was, even working into the later hours of the evening. She made sure we were aware of all potential positives and negatives and made the process feel seamless. We can't thank you enough for the amount of hardwork you put in to find us our first home.”
“Amy made the daunting task of preparing and listing my home for sale approachable. She equipped me with the appropriate knowledge and expectations to make the sale process as easy as possible. I will continue to recommend Amy to anyone in need of a realtor in Indianapolis.p1”
“Patty was a breath of fresh air from start to finish! As a first time homeowner, I wasn't sure what the process would look like; buying a home seemed daunting and overwhelming. She met these emotions with grace and understanding. Patty was attentive and assuring, creating a sense of comfort. She ensured my needs were met and paid great attention to detail. I couldn't have asked for a better person to guide me through this process.”
“I had an amazing experience working with Lisa! As a first-time homebuyer, I truly appreciated her knowledge, patience, and dedication throughout the entire process. She took the time to understand what I was looking for and never rushed me, even after showing me so many homes. Her guidance and support made what could have been a stressful experience feel easy and enjoyable. I’m so grateful for her help in finding the perfect home, and I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor who genuinely cares about her clients.”
“As first time homebuyers, my husband and I didn't know what to expect. Jim was so helpful throughout the entire process in answering all of our questions, educating us on things we didn't even know we needed to know about, and promptly and patiently answering all of our questions! We loved our experience working with Jim!”
